Chapter 2 - Introductions

Wanted to release this chapter earlier but I had to move again, for those new to my books I moved a couple months back after moving like 7 months before that. So roughly 3 times I've moved in like 1-2 years. Ended up injuring my body a decent amount and it all hurts so I wanted to rest before writing.

Location - ??? - MC POV

Sitting in an endless void slowly before light comes to my eyes along with the familiar sound of an alarm clock going off.

'Morning already, shit if I'm late Sa-,' before I can finish my thought, I notice the room I'm resting in is different than the one I'm used to.

'It wasn't a dream, was it?,' releasing a sigh, I twist my body a set of brown and somewhat black hair covering my eyes for a moment.

Grabbing the blaring alarm coming from a phone on a stand near my bed, I quickly turn it off.

As the screen goes dark, I notice a face not of my own staring back at me, a set of golden-brown eyes mixed with an almost red color at the center.

'This face, it kind of resembles... Tom Holland? Kind of,' taking a moment to check my face, I notice only partial similarities with the young actor.

This- My face seems to be straighter, more refined even. A few attributes of my original face showing through, thankfully my age is showing.

I wasn't very old, but it'd be awkward to see a... How old am I actually? As I question my age, a number flashes in my mind, giving me the answer.

'16 huh, getting close to 17. I'm a 3rd year high schooler at that. Wait, if I have MCU Spider-Man face, then does that mean I'm in the MCU verse? If so, then, with my age being 16, I should be around Thor Ragnarok or Doctor Strange Movie right now.'

But that doesn't seem right, my gut says otherwise. Why?

This time, no answer comes. Quickly changing my clothes, a pair of blue jeans, a white shirt with some nerdy equation on it, and a zip-up hoodie before sitting down at a desk in my room.

The desk itself seems to be filled with papers, a mounted bookshelf resting above with just as many, if not more items.

Reaching my hand into one of the drawers, I pull out a notebook I used for my own personal spidey things... For a moment, I sit there, slowly relaxing into 'my' seat the realization hitting me.

'So I have some of his knowledge? Or his natural instincts at least'. I slowly drag my hand across my face, taking a moment to think.

I can't tell if this will be a curse or a blessing, as useful as having knowledge from Peter is,, I'm not the heroic type, he is.

But how? Is it because of my last gamble?

「"Correct, one of the granted personal or physical traits is Peter Parkers instincts. It It can both hinder and assist you, may you use it right".」

'So you're still here?'

「"Yes, as you are a part of the Karma Reincarnation style, you are under my jurisdiction. Though I may only help you so much, consider me a tutorial that helps you on occasion".」

Before I can respond to Cortana a knock reaches my door before it quickly swings open, a feeling going up my spine as I notice a set of eyes about to meet my body.

"Petey honey you have to- PETER! What happened to you,' immediately the pseudo-milf herself is in front of me inspecting my face.

May Parker, Peter Parkers Aunt, the MCU version too. I can't help but give her body a quick glance over, I mean who wouldn't? If you didn't think she was hot, most would've called you insane.

A decently young and good-looking adult female, the personality that- As I remember, my old crush on her there is a pang in the back of my head, a slightly disgusted feeling toying with my head.

Ignoring it I turn my attention back to her. Her face quickly moving around checking, poking, and prodding at my face before she gets a gleeful smile. "Oh Peter! You had a growth spurt and a big one at that, almost didn't recognize you."

I'm quickly brought into a big hug before she releases me, "As happy as I am to see this growth spurt finally we have to hurry, you can't leave Ned waiting." She takes a couple steps back before turning and walking away a sway in her step, a happy one but one none the less.

'Ow...' again my head rings. 'So my face is different then it normally is, glad she thought it was a growth spurt'.

「"Don't worry, no one will recognize any changes to such a degree. Consider it a natural protection, if any one could just notice changes about you and figures something is off then many Reincarnators would die from gods immediately killing them. Consider it us having some jurisdiction to make changes and alterations no one will notice. But gods connected to you, or people who are VERY close to you will take notice of some changes and personality based ones. We only have so much power here."」

'So I gotta meet the man who made sex 2.0 himself? Nice.' Standing up I pick up my phone, scrolling through it and finding a couple text between Ned and I, apparently we are going out with some classmates from the Decathlon Team, even with school apparently two months away we are still a team.

(June BTW)

Some upper-classmen are also tagging along, a friend of friend party too huh? We are all going to meet at Liz's place, 'Wait Liz? So Homecoming hasn't happened? But I'm 16, wait am I 16? I look almost 17, do I just look older because of the growth spurt?' Before I can question further a voice rings in my head.

「"It's a benefit from being a Summoner. Since you have a natural affinity for summoning your body was easier to reincarnate or summon into the body of Peter Parker giving you a few bonuses from your old body, more so just your appearance."」

Nifty I suppose. Standing up I grab my things, which is just my phone.

Looking around to see if there is anything else important I notice two different bags in the room, one by my bed and the other hidden under a bunch of stuff in the corner of my room.

Walking over I shift some of the stuff around as I notice a smell coming from a bag, pulling it up I open it up finding my Spider-Man suit, specifically the homemade one. I quickly take notice of the missing mask and Web-Slingers but I'm I find them in my school bag.

'Guess he wanted to make sure he was prepared at all times, but doesn't this mean Civil War hasn't happened too? What fucked up timeline is this? Suppose I'll have to find out as I go,' grabbing my stuff I decide to bring my backpack along with, I may not know how my abilities work but it can't hurt to bring it along.

'Wait didn't May say that I was going to meet Ned, did old Peter not tell her he was going to Liz's house. Then again this is May we're talking about, she'd probably freak out trying to make him look his best.' Speaking of May I notice the sound of water running along with a humming noise.

'Is she showering, but why can I why is she humming so loudly?' Heading out of my room I open the door immediately arriving in  the living room before taking in some of the housing. 

From what I can tell this is the second apartment they lived in, an open space living room connected straight to the kitchen, the living room on the left side, at least from my point of view. On the right half, separated by a counter, is the kitchen. On my sharp right, down the hall, is where the noise is coming from, along with a couple other rooms.

As I look around my phone starts going off as I read Ned's name on my screen, along with a picture of the man himself. Answering the call I put my phone to my ear letting him talk first.

"Yo Peter, I'm waiting outside, we gotta hurry you know how Liz will get if we're late."

"Yeah, just give me a sec I'm about to head out just had to change," keeping my words simple I quickly head out, the sound of a TV show or two coming from some of the neighbors apartments.

Heading downstairs through the apartment complex I find Ned outside at the front as he gives me a big wave. "Wow Peter you grew, been drinking your milk a bit too much," he lets out a joke immediately noticing it's me.

"Trust me I heard all about it from May," Ned immediately starts heading in a direction as I follow alongside him. "So did you see the remake last night, it was suuuper dope. Like they almost got it perfectly."

"...Sorry no, May had me do some stuff around the house and I ended up being too exhausted to see it". Lying already huh.

"Well we can watch it later, maybe I can stay over again, got a new Star Wars Lego Set, still trying to find the Lego Death Star but I did get the Millennium Falcon that we can build."

"Sure, I'll ask May, she's in the middle of something right now so it'll be a minute." I take a second to send her a text before turning my attention back to Ned. "So do you know how long it'll take to get there," Ned immediately turns to me giving me a confused look.

"Dude how long ago did you wake up, didn't you look at the group chat Liz created? We're meeting up Tino's and then heading to Liz's house. She talked about it being a bonding experience I think." I take a look at my phone scrolling through my messages as I do find a group chat, which consist of mostly Liz talking.

As we're walking I notice a bunch of people being way to loud but I do my best to ignore it as we quickly make our way to Tino's which apparently is a pizza place and a lot louder than outside.

As we walk into classic pizzeria styled restaurant Liz calls us over to a rather large table. I notice the face of Flash Thompson, who is bothering someone and has his MCU face, immediately, I also semi take notice of two other individuals from the Team but another, more attractive scent takes my nose instead.

Felicia Hardy, or more famously the Black Cat. She is currently turned away and being bothered by Flash, but anyone would recognize that white fluffy hair anywhere. "You know it's creepy to stare right?"

From my right Michelle Jones, or MJ, enters my vision. Thankfully this is an actual likeable version of MJ, and also anyone but the Raimi films version. "I prefer the term endearing, but I don't think Flash looks good enough for me to stare at."

MJ looks at me, her eyes narrowing a bit, before taking a sip of a drink in her hands and walking towards the table. Ned and I following behind, I notice another two faces but not ones I recognized as they seem to be some of my upper-classmen. One a black haired female and the other a brown haired male.

"Wow Peter you've grown over these past couple months huh?" Liz is quick to point out my appearance as Flash sneers at me. "Yeah, guess I'm just getting to that point where my body is getting it's last growth's in".

The two of us take seats at the rectangular table, Ned on my left and myself on one of the ends. To the left of Ned is Liz who is sitting beside another from our grade. Across from me is MJ who is seated by the infatuated Flash. After Flash is the Cat who is occasionally speaking with black hair. Finally on the other ends are brown hair and a chick from the team.

"Well Penis Parker you sure took your time," Flash doesn't hesitate to attempt to look cool in front of Felicia, which is fair but the insult is towards me so. "Flash with the amount of times you've called me Penis and immediately made me the center of attention in your eyes I might start questioning some 'things' about you".

A couple chuckles enter my ear as Flash bolts up attempting to defend himself, though he is calmed down rather quickly by brown hair. From my left Ned talks to me "Wow Peter, suppose not only your appearance changed huh?"

"Just slowly getting tired of Flash's jokes, I mean a 7 year old could do better," Ned nods, probably also annoyed by his shit. I don't dislike Flash or anything but he is attempting to offend me, she always did teach me to stand up for myself, sometimes it worked too well though.

"Now that everyone is here we should begin now!" Everyone stops what they're doing giving their attention to Liz.

To live through High School again, just hope my hormones don't fuck to many things up.

_______________________________

Chapter over! Hope you all enjoyed it, was originally going to have the MC already in school but had a couple ideas, there was actually an alternate chapter that I'd partially written before deleting it.

It's a bit cliché to just add Black Cat but you can't ever go wrong with having her character there. Also you will notice many changes, the timeline is obviously different.

Also I do take constructive criticism, it's a weird thing to note but I want to grow as a writer.

Anyways I hope you all enjoyed.

Bye!
